"NSDC's purpose is ensuring that every educator engages in effective professional learning every day so every student achieves. "
We are excited to announce that CSDC members voted unanimously to elect as our new Co-President, Lois Easton and our Secretary, Nancy Cox. Lois is brand new to the CSDC Board. Nancy continues in her current position as secretary for one more year. How lucky we are to have these outstanding educators help provide leadership for CSDC as we continue our mission to provide effective professional learning for educators so every student achieves. Thanks to CSDC members who made time to exercise their voting rights. NSDC’s New Definition of Professional Development NSDC’s new definition of professional development is what we have been waiting for! The definition means that at long last, NSDC, the leader in the field of professional development, is prepared to describe explicitly how school systems and schools must organize and implement professional learning to increase student achievement. Note that while the definition is rooted in the essential elements of NSDC’s Standards for Staff Development, it goes beyond the Standards. Whereas the Standards describe the broad conditions necessary for high quality professional development, the definition takes the next step to delineate specific practices school systems and schools must put in place to improve the performance of educators and students.
